Maybe it's because I'm Italian I don't really know. Yet I find the Greek olive oils all to be very harsh or bitter.... especially the Extra Virgin. The Spanish seem weak by contrast as well. Maybe it's what I have bought or the storage practices of the markets but I've not been to impressed so far. Haven't decided if the varietal oils like Kalamata are worth the purchase yet

It's really the "Pure Italian" or a couple of the blends out there I/we have come to like. Still a big fan of Colavita and I think the Whole Foods 365 brand we buy is one of the blends. I end up cutting most of my olive oils with Enova or Smart Balance anyhow. First is to make it more affordable and second is to get some of the benefits of the "healthy oils".:smiles:
